Process

What actually happens after you say yes

GrowthChord is a digital marketing agency in Sri Lanka. A project with us runs in five stages, in this order. The first two happen before we touch anything, because changing things before you know what is wrong is how money gets wasted.

You will know at every point what we are doing and why. If a stage shows the plan was wrong, we change the plan rather than finish it for the sake of it.

Five stages. The last three repeat every month.
  1. First

    Look

    Find what is actually broken

    We go through the site, the listing, the searches and the three rivals beating you, before we propose anything.

  2. Then

    Build

    Fix the big things first

    The work is ordered by what moves the needle soonest, not by what is easiest to show you.

  3. After

    Adjust

    Keep what works, drop what does not

    Every month we look at what happened and change the plan. Nothing is set once and left.

The five stages

How does a project run, step by step?

Stages one and two come first on every project. Stages three to five then repeat every month for as long as we work together.

1. We talk

What you sell, who buys it, where you want more of it, and what you have already tried. Usually an hour, and it saves weeks.

2. We audit

Your site, your listing, your social, the searches you should be winning, and who is winning them instead. You get the findings whether or not you hire us.

3. We plan

What to do, in what order, and what we expect each thing to do. In writing, with the price, before anything starts.

4. We build

Pages written, site fixed, listing sorted, profiles cleaned up, shoots booked, campaigns live. The part you are paying for.

5. We measure and improve

Which searches you now show up for, which pages bring enquiries, and what they are worth, in one plain-English monthly note. Then we push harder on what worked and stop what did not. That is why month six beats month one.

What we need from you

What does the work need from your side?

Not much, but these few things decide whether the schedule holds.

  • Access to your website, your Google listing and your social accounts.
  • One person who can approve things and answer a question in a day or two.
  • An honest account of what has been tried before, including what failed.
  • A few hours for the shoot, if photography is part of the plan.
  • Facts we can check for any claim you want us to publish.
  • The willingness to hear that something is not working.
